One of my most rocked artists of the early 21st century was TQ. Between his flawless debut They Never Saw Me Coming and any of his underrated follow-ups, the former Ca$h Money singer who will forever claim Westside has dropped quite a few quality songs over the course of his career, whether you ever heard them or not. However, for whatever reason, his R&B thug gimmick didn’t manifest the way his talent deserved and his career basically flat-lined three years ago. One track from his 2004 album Listen that shined despite being slighted was “Right On,” which was an epic, string-led comeback attempt that tried to recapture the rep originated in the early stages of his career.

And that’s fine, because as am I. VIBE.com caught up with P where they asked him his feelings on 2011′s most talked about new name. The two met at Coachella and the studio sessions took place soon after as the two worked on Ocean’s upcoming album. Dubbing the young crooner “the black James Taylor,” Pharrell had nothing but high praises for Frank ranking as another marquee co-sign behind the likes of Jay-Z, Kanye and Beyonce.
Given the two’s propensity for creating high quality music, it may be safe to assume that whatever was created should be nothing short noteworthy. Say, think they recorded on P’s floating studio?
